Local restaurants host Mother’s Day brunches

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Local restaurants hosted brunches for Mother’s Day, allowing neighbors to celebrate the day with the special women in their lives.

The Brunch House of Augusta on Greene Street hosted a brunch. The restaurant served berry pancakes and French toast, waffles, ham and cheese breakfast sliders and more breakfast foods.

One of the owners said the holidays are a great time for them to make connections with the community.

“We just had a group here come here that’s been coming here every year Mother’s Day for three years, every year basically since we’ve been open, they come in every year for Mother’s Day. We have people from out of town come and travel and visit us, so it’s definitely building that connection,” said Ashley Brown, co-owner of The Brunch House of Augusta.

Brown said they will be offering some specials for the upcoming Juneteenth holiday next month.

The Frog and the Hen also hosted a Mother’s Day brunch. The restaurant had about 350 people come in as of around 3 p.m.

They served foods like fried chicken, cheddar biscuits, French toast casserole and more.

The general manager said she enjoys seeing families come in for holidays like Mother’s Day.

“I feel like these are all my children here, so I feel like this day just in general, like I get to be the mother here, and so this is like I’m mother hen, so I get to take care of all this. I love supporting all the people as well and just being able to get the best food possible, the best chicken everywhere,” said Sheridan Roberts, general manager of Frog and the Hen.

Roberts said they often have to stop making reservations a few weeks ahead of the holiday due to the amount they receive.
